It’s been a busy, busy summer. I had out-of-town family visiting for two weeks. We went to an art museum, a wax museum, a Ripley’s Believe It or Not, a bookstore, the movies, shopping, etc. Whew! Now it’s time to get back to work. I just came up with a new idea for a picture book and am reading some of the notes I’ve collected at various writing workshops to get the adrenaline pumping again.

Good news: A nonfiction article that I wrote just got published in the Sept/Oct 2016 issue of the national magazine Angels on Earth.
In the meantime, you might be interested in a KidLit.com post by Mary Kole on the topic, “Adding a Stance.” She writes about not only world-building but about adding an emotional stance to almost everything you write.
On the same post, you might want to click on Writing and read about “The Evolution of Relationships,” in writing. Very interesting post.
